The price is attempting a continuation of the longer-term bullish trend following a break of the prior dynamic trendline resistances. A positive CPI outcome will likely accelerate the bulls through the horizontal resistance that has so far anchored the pair below it near 0.7515 to at least 0.7550. If, on the other hand, we see a miss, the price will likely be forced back to test the old dynamic resistance as a counter-trendline near 0.7480.
